Millie Bobby Brown Celebrates 22nd Birthday with David Harbour (50) Following Bullying Claims
Millie Bobby Brown celebrated her 22nd birthday in New York City this week, and one guest drew major attention, her “Stranger Things” co-star David Harbour.
The party took place at Maison Close, according to photos and details published by TMZ. Brown attended the event with her husband, Jake Bongiovi. She wore a white ruffled outfit layered over pants and styled her hair high for the night. Bongiovi chose a dark jacket with a light shirt underneath.
Harbour was seen arriving separately. He wore a cap, a green coat, and casual shoes. TMZ reported that he showed up early and left late in the evening. Other guests included cast members from Stranger Things, such as Jamie Campbell Bower, as well as director Shawn Levy. Family members were also present.

The birthday celebration comes months after a report from the Daily Mail claimed there had been issues between Brown and Harbour before filming the final season of the Netflix series. The outlet cited an insider who alleged that Brown had submitted a formal complaint before production began.
“Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season,” the source claimed. “There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”
According to the report, Harbour was not accused of sexual misconduct, but there was said to be an internal review. It was also reported that Brown had a personal representative with her during filming.
Despite the claims, the two actors appeared together publicly at the Season 5 premiere in November. They posed for photos and showed no visible tension. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the time, Brown addressed the speculation.
“I mean, we have always been united in that,” she said. “We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.” She also described Harbour as “amazing” and said they were “so lucky to have each other.”
With the final season of the show approaching, fans continue to follow both the series and the off-screen headlines. For now, Brown’s birthday event suggests that at least publicly, there is no clear sign of conflict.
Rumors can quickly grow when a show is as popular as “Stranger Things.” What matters most is what the people involved say and how they act. So far, both seem calm and supportive in public. What do you think about this situation? Share your thoughts in the comments.
